✨️❤️ International Women’s Day ✨️❤️

On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the strength and resilience of women everywhere.

But being heard matters too, especially when it comes to maternity and gynaecological care.
In the Highlands, many women travel long distances for support and sometimes feel their experiences aren’t fully listened to. 🙏💕

Through my work at The Zen Lotus, offering holistic therapies, I have the privilege of hearing many women’s stories around pregnancy, hormones, pain and recovery. Again and again, the same message comes through: women want to feel heard, respected and supported in their own bodies.🪷

We deserve systems where women’s knowledge of their own bodies are taken seriously.
We deserve healthcare shaped with women, not simply for them.💓

This International Women’s Day, let’s keep speaking, keep challenging, and keep demanding better, for every woman, everywhere!👏

✨️The Zen Lotus Podcast IS HERE! ✨

Please find the link below for my FIRST EVER PODCAST episode. ✨️🙌👏🎙🌟

Wow - so many listens and beautiful messages already. 💓🥰 it has been brought to my attention - you can't share a Spotify link from Facebook, if you want to help me out and share, it has to be from Spotify and from the actual episode. ✨️👏

A true passion project, born from simply loving people, listening to their stories, and creating a space where those stories can be heard.

I am so pleased and grateful that Pauline Burnett from Highland Holistic Massage School said yes to being my first guest.

Her story is powerful and inspiring. 🌟

I’m incredibly proud of what’s been created. I’m by no means a professional podcaster or editor so take that into account. 😃

If it resonates, please review, share, and spread the word.
I know Pauline’s insights will speak to many.

Thank you all so much. Your love and support mean more than you know. 💚🌿✨

🤍✨️ Meditation for Anxiety 🤍✨️

My second meditation, “Calm in the Chaos - Anxiety Soothing Grounding Meditation,” has now been approved on Insight Timer 🤍

This one took meticulous time. I really wanted to get it right.
Before review, I shared it with people I trust, those who truly understand the impact of living with anxiety.
Making sure it felt relatable and heartfelt.

Anxiety can rob you of so much. I know firsthand how frightening it can be.

During recovery for me, Sarah Blondin’s meditation, “When We Must Endure,” was the only thing that truly spoke to me. It reached me in a way nothing else did.
In many ways, in that scary time, it quietly birthed this entire holistic journey for me.

And here we are, five years later, putting out my own meditation, inspired by Sarah, but rooted in my lived experience and in the hope that it might help even one person the way she helped me.

If it resonates with you, please share and follow.
You never know who might need it.

And just a reminder, Insight Timer is a free app. When it mentions “Plus” membership, you can simply skip that part in the top right corner.
This recording is also on my Spotify channel.

Thank you for being here and for supporting this journey 🤍

✨️ DIARY CLOSED ✨️

💝 Not accepting new clients at the moment. 💝

To my beautiful and incredibly supportive community, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love, messages, and new enquiries.

Your support regarding my meditations has blown me away - more to come on that!
This week feels like the first week in 2026 where I feel a bit more like myself - the virus floored me. I hope you're all keeping well! 💕🙏

I see you, and I truly appreciate every single one of you.

I do still have messages I need to reply to, the recent requests have been overwhelming (over 100!), so please know I’m doing my best to get back to everyone as soon as I can.

If you already have a voucher, yes, it is absolutely still valid. 🤍

This work is my part-time passion project alongside a full-time job, and right now my priority is looking after my loyal, existing clients with the care and attention they deserve.

With so much gratitude and love, I do need to temporarily close my books to any new clients for now.
Thank you for understanding, for your patience, and for supporting something that means so much to me.
Truly, none of this would be possible without you. ✨

My meditation “The Light Within” is now live on Insight Timer!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

I still can't believe it - this is such a huge moment for me, I actually cried last night when I saw my name on the app, an app that has been my constant for years! 🥰

Insight Timer is a global meditation app dedicated to mindful living and inner wellbeing, with a rigorous vetting process that prioritises safety, integrity and the highest quality content.
Being accepted makes me incredibly proud to be part of this community. ✨️
Meditation is a powerful way to come home to yourself to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with the light that already lives within you. 🧘‍♀️

It’s really important to me that my meditations are free and accessible, so you can listen without barriers.
Once Insight Timer is downloaded, the app will ask a series of questions and the 'plus' membership will come up, just 'skip' this on the top right corner and you will arrive at the free dashboard and just type in - Carly Coghill. 🙏💓✨️

✨ A little milestone from my heart ✨

I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!

I have just uploaded my very first guided meditation, “The Light Within,” to Insight Timer 💫

It’s currently being checked for copyright etc, so it may be the end of January before it’s live but I honestly couldn’t wait to share this moment.

If you’re into inviting more calm, self-care, and inner power into 2026, I’d really encourage you to download the Insight Timer app. It’s an incredible space for meditation, rest, and reconnection 🤍

This feels so unbelievable to even write, alongside becoming a Reiki Master, creating a meditation for Insight Timer was right at the top of my 2026 bucket list and here we are!!! 🙏🙏🙏

This one is for the women who are learning not to dull their light,
for those taking their power back through self care and for anyone who needs the reminder that you are enough.

I’ll share the link as soon as it’s live 🌿
Thank you for being part of this journey, your support means more than you know.

The best meditation app with the world’s largest FREE library of more than 260k guided meditations, 17k teachers & the world’s most loved meditation Timer.

🌿✨ BIG ANNOUNCEMENT ✨🌿

I’m so excited to finally share that I’m launching my very own PODCAST…
The Zen Lotus Podcast 🌸

A space designed to be as nourishing for the body, mind and soul, like a cosy cup of tea you didn’t know you needed ☕️💫

On the podcast, I’ll be chatting with like minded guests who are passionate about honest, heartfelt conversations around wellbeing and wellness, spirituality, and female empowerment.
Real stories, real experiences, and meaningful conversations.

I’m incredibly lucky that some truly awesome people have already agreed to sit down and have a chat with me 🤍

More details coming very soon, but I just couldn’t keep this to myself any longer ✨🎉
So exciting! 🌿🌸
